(23 Jan 2012)"If your house was
burning down around you..."

Hello, John and Doves,

If your house was burning down around you,
would you call the fire department, or would call the
manufacturer of your electric security blanket, trying
to get assurances that it couldn't have shorted
out? Then would you continue to call all the
manufacturers of any and all things you had that you
thought should not burn?

Well, the Good Ol' USA is burning around
us. There has been a tremendous spiritual falling
away, and the AC has definitely been identified with
150 trillion-to-one odds. [Please read 2
Thessalonians 2:3 with a flash light, and with the flash
of epiphany that only the Ruach Ha Kodesh can provide.]

Are we as a nation going to continue to feel
free to look to a man of pompous promises and
preposterous prevarications for our answers, just
because the rapture has not yet occurred? I
speak to Christians who think that everyone is blind to
the machinations of the devil--and therefore "no man
knoweth."

It is clear that you can't see very far in
sand. And therefore, no ostrich knoweth.

Snarky, am I? Who cares?

Maybe you haven't read 1 Kings 18.
What does it say? Go find out! Get
straightened out, if you still desire after
righteousness.

How about reading Matthew 3:7, or Matthew
23:27? If you prefer the Tanakh, how about
Isaiah--the whole book.

God freely mocks His enemies--but not in word
only. God delivers on His promises. You know
the old saying, "It's not a threat, it's a
promise." Well, Our God, ADONAI Nissi [YHWH, our
Banner], is the quintessential Avenger.

It is written,

"Vengeance is Mine. I will repay, saith
the LORD." Romans 12:19, Isaiah 66:24

So then, the LORD took vengeance upon Himself
for our sakes. It is written,

"But he [was]
wounded for our transgressions, [he was] bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was]
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
Isaiah 53:5

In his blind effort to win the skirmish,
"Sat-on" lost both the battle and the war.

It is written,

"But had they
known, they would not have crucified the King of
Glory." 1 Corinthians 2:8

Just because the enemy does not know anything
for all his knowledge, does not mean that all
knowledgeable Christians are not to be trusted.

In other words, if the enemy is vanquished for
all time [and he is], why can't we know his stupid,
wayward thoughts--as if his machinations were
transparent? We can, for it is written,

"Nothing in all creation
is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered
and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must
give account." Hebrews
4:13

"...God hath
revealed [them] unto us by his Spirit: for the
Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of
God." 1 Corinthians 2:10

Clearly, what was thought by many to be the
second rapture of the saints [the one preceding the
middle of D's 70th week] is really the one and only
rapture of the Bride of Christ. Now it can be
told. We have been refined by fire. God is
soon coming to pick up His pure and golden Bride,
without spot and without blemish. He can see
Himself reflected in us.

Buck up!

"This is all the more
urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running
out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than
when we first believed." Romans
13:11 NLT
